The Oakland Raiders’ first-round draft pick, D. J. Hayden, was hospitalized with an abdominal injury that is expected to keep him sidelined until at least training camp. He was hospitalized late last week and had surgery to remove scar tissue from the abdominal region. The Raiders said they do not know when Hayden will be released from the hospital.

Coach Dennis Allen said he did not know if the latest injury was related to the torn blood vessel that nearly killed Hayden last November after a collision with a teammate at Houston.
